    I only possess:

    In Time: The Best of REM
    Accelerate
    Life's Rich Pageant
    Document
    Automatic for the People
    Up
    Monster
    New Adventures in Hifi
    Reveal

    (Before I met Audiodave, I only possessed 'In Time: The Best Of' :o)

    My favourites are probably Pageant, Monster and Hifi :D I refuse to buy Out of Time due to the track 'Shiny Happy People' *shudders* I'm gonna download the other tracks from it though.

    Hmm... 'bout time I bought another album, I say...

    Any suggestions?

    Does anyone know what time the National go on stage at? I'm going to the REM show tonight and the tix say the doors are at 6:30.

    I just don't wanna get there too early, but don't want to miss the National either.

    Anyone have a rough estimate on what time the show ends? Going to the Garden show and need to know whether or not I'll have to go to Grand Central or Penn depending on what time it ends. Thanks

    Begin the Begin

    Saw EV at the VFC finale in DC join the band on stage for a great rendition of this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XaoF8bDMcM


    I'll be checking them out on Philly, an off day for PJ, and hoping for an EV appearance.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
    arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to
    slide in sideways, BBQ sandwich in one hand, cold beer in the other,
    body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "Woo Hoo what a
    ride" ! Unknown

    REM is the best thing going right now, tour-wise. They are playing a ton of old rarities.
    IGNORELAND, LIVE!!!

    Basically, I'm insanely jealous :o

    Was it as good as I could imagine? or BETTER?! :eek:

    Photos or videos would be good, if anyone has them yet! :D
